GentIemen who Aspire to do Service
for the City In the Common Council
Resume of a Few of the Wards.
The candidates for political honors in the
various wards are exhibiting considerable
activity and commotion just at present. The
caucuses will be held in few days and the
slate will be washed of its aspiring names
and hung up until December, 1888, comes
round. There are many candidates in the
field who wish to serve the city. A gentle
man who has paid considerable attention to
political matters says Elm the First ward
for aldermanic honors Councilman H. G.
Warren is spoken of as the right man. Some
say, however, that Mr.. Warren should give
way, as he is soon to remove into the Eighth
ward, thereby decreasing his chances OF
properly representing the First ward; and
then there are others who might be induced
to accept the nomination who are in the Ward
to stay. Frank G. Bushnell, of J. D. Dewell
& Co., and Lawyer Henry G.. White are
among the prominent ones. Friends of ex-
Councilman w. A. Beers, who is the present
chairman of the ward, are anxious for his
nomination, for they say that by reason OF
his having been for two years councilman,
resident of this ward nearly forty years, quite
a large property owner in this city and his
past experience in the city government, entl-
ties him to the consideration of taxpayers
and those who appreciate faithful service IN
| the Republican ranks. Candidates for the
council are said to be Sherwood S. Themp-
son, John w. Lane, F. G. Bushnell, William
E. Chandler and John N. Peck. The first
| two are present members of the board of
councilmen.
I'm the Second ward for alderman the
present incumbent, John w Kenney, seems
/ /. l. OF for
| ton. He is very popular in his ward, received
large vote at his election and has made an
| excellent alderman. Harry Stevens is eX
pecting to remove from this city and D. W.
Baldwin's business engagements, etc., will
prevent him from serving another term.
'The Eighth warders are said to be quite
unanimous in their opinion that Alderman
lanes D. Whitmore should accept a renomi-
nation. He is considered one of the most
| active members of the board. Although
| Captain Gessner, the present first council
| man, is a candidate for alderman, still, if
| thought advisable, he would accept one 9th
i er term as councilman.
| 'In the Fourth ward Alderman Edward
/ Wines will be returned to the board, he be-
| ing the strongest Republican candidate in
| this Democratic ward.
| SIN the Tenth ward unusual commotion
exists-by some general elean-out is sug-
gessed : while by others a com
L
| ius Twiss is being strongly backed
by many of the leading residents of the ward
| for alderman, and is considered very strong
candidate. Mr.. G. W. Blakeslee, the present
incumbent, has been very desirable mem
Der of the aldermanic board, and has many
| friends in his ward
'fMr. Twiss has served many terms in the
1 board of councilmen, and a few years age
was selected as nominee for alderman, but
was obliged to decline, having just received
an appointment as tax commissioner. Mr.
Twiss is acknowledged by all who have beer
connected with him in Office or otherwise al
a very conscientious man and exceedingly
careful manager of all business entrusted te
| him. At his last election he received very
large vote.
"For councilmen in this ward Al. e. Chat
| field is a candidate as we'll as Captain G. G
| Ford. Other prominent candidates mention
ed for the council are John A. Richardson Of
Yale National bank, Lawyer Arthur D
Wright, Thomas J. Alderman and Feli1
